Classroom Collections

When the results of the spring Red Cross Blood
Drive are published, there are going to be an awful lot of red faces at Troy.
Some faces will be red from rage; some faces will be red from shame. In either case, there will be a lot of blood wasted boiling and blushing because Troy just didn’t make the grade when it came to pledging blood for the Red Cross.
Less than 300 pints of blood have been pledged— only 900 pints short of the goal.
Last semester’s blood drive brought in 1200 pints, 50 per cent more than the original goal set. Last semester, we managed to beat our rivals out at Westwood by a bare margin of a half-dozen pints. This year, they have a slight margin—at least 300 pints more than we pledged.
Perhaps it is a wasted effort to go into the story of how much potential good is flowing through your veins, for the story has been told and retold thousands of times. If you’ve heard the story once, you know the life-saving power you feel as an individual.
However, if you are aware of this life-saving power and choose to ignore its potential value, you are committing a malicious injustice.
There is some ray of hope, however. There is still plenty of opportunity to sign up. For this entire week, from today until Friday, the Red Cross will be on campus to coilect blood. Early sign-ups will keep the Red Cross workers busy at a steady pace. Both Row and independent students should avalanche the sign-up table with pledges as early as possible. There is still a chance to emerge from this program upholding the dignity we set last semester and in previous years.
Let's end the drive successfully, top our Bruin competitors as we have in almost every other activity in the past, and end up, not red-faced, but red-blooded students.

MODEL UN GROUP END CONFERENCE
Little was accomplished at the Friday session of the general assembly at the model UN, but Saturday began and ended up with a bang.
During the three hour morning session Friday only one resolution was adopted by the Assembly.
The resolution was to appoint a commission to study methods of transferring people from over populated areas to under populated regions.
In the afternoon of the same day, the junior statemen got themselves verbally tied-up over a Russian amendment to a U S proposal. This pronosal stated that technical aid shield be given to underdeveloped nations by the UN.
In one short period of debate, no less than 15 points of order were raised.
Paul D. Taylor, president of the assembly, was called on for recognition by so many nations that he was almost unable to keep track of who was to speak.
Before debate on the Russian amendment, India, played by SC, had successfully added an amendment to 'the same US proposal.
Mar.y independsnt nations had expressed the fear that such technical agreements would eventually lead to military alliances between the participants.
India, following her regular policy of speaking for the independent state, amended the technical assistance proposal.
The amendment prohibits regional alliances which might grow out of such technical agreements.
Murray Bring, member of the SC delegation, urged the adoption of the US proposal before the general assembly if the Indian amendment was also accepted.

What may become SC’s biggest political year got off to an early start Friday when a confirmed independent announced his backing of Bill Van Alstyne, a Row man, who is expected to seek the ASSC presidency next month.
Bo Jansen, colorful campus politico, said he has moved into the Van Alstyne “camp.”
Jansen’s announcement may unleash an early political shift among many fraternities and sororities along the Row
views.
Van Alstyne, loquacious senator-at-large, formerly was independent men’s representative before he decided to join Acacia fraternity.
. . Senate This year he serves on the Senate High School Relations Committee, which he helped form last semester.
In 1951, he was supported by Unity Party when he ran for the independent post. Next year, he ran for Senator-at-Large on the Unity-TRG ticket. This year he is expected to be supported by Conservative Party. *
Jansen, who served as senator-at-large last year, was head of the now defunct Unity. As Unity chairman, he brought up before the Senate such political footballs as discrimination and the prohi-inde- i bition of advertising in the DT for bookstores other than the University Bookstore.
For full text of Jansen’s statement, see page 6.
Dissolution of the TNE powerhouse last fall and a reported shift in political affiliation of three Row houses indicate there will be a strong opposition candidate to Van Alstyne.
The other presidential aspirant will be Don Daves, Phi Delt, Row sources reported.
★ ★ ★ Campus Politics Getting Stirred
The campus political goulash is in the process of getting stirred prior to the general spring elections next month. The heftyist spooning since last fall’s dissolution of TNE came Friday on the heels of a recent switch in party forces.
Politicos are viewing Bo Jansen’s endorsement of Bill Van Als-j tyne in light of a recent shift of three fraternities, previously of All-University party affiliation, to sorority-strong Trojans for Representative Government.
Observers say Jansen’s pendent stamp on Van Alstyne may cause more Row houses to shift affiliation.
Noble Trenham was elected TRG party chairman last week, while A1 Carpenter took over the new Students Conservative party (composed mostly of former All-U houses).
Reports from the meeting indicate the name and constitution of Carpenter’s group will be changed.

Entrance in Songfest Urged Before Application Deadline
Songfest Committee Chairman Bob Jani Friday urged campus dormitories and service groups to “get on the ball and beat the entry-blank deadline” for the forthcoming all-university sin g i n g event.
“So far,” said Jani, “we’ve received an encouraging total of 17 applications, but every one of these has come from the Row.”
Jani said that the lack of response outside of the Greek-let-ter groups was “a little frustrating, since we’ve tried to make it clear that the Songfest is a completely campus-wide affair.” combines the best points of the old AMS and AWS Songfests,
plus some great new features of its own.”
‘The Songfest, which Jani says “should quickly catch on as an. annual event,” will be held at the Greek Theater May 14. Competition will be divided into fraternity, sorority, dormitory, and service club categories.
Not Restricted
Jani said that competing groups will not be restricted to single entries. “In fact,” he said, “we’ll be happy if every group entered hits the three-entry limit. Multiple entries are a sure way of squeezing every bit of talent out of the competing groups.”

A meagre handful of stu dents begins marching to the Commons basement t h i morning as donations get un der way in the spring Red Cross Biood Drive.
Less than 300 Trojans pled ged blood in the first week of the drive.
“Unless many more students realize the importance of giving blood and will sign-up, at the rate we are going we will end the drive far short of our 1200-pint-goal,” said Mary Barrett, Drive chairman.
“The Red Cross is counting on us to help fill Los Angeles’ month' ly quota of 17,500 pints, and we must not let them down.”
Sign-up Tables
Sign-up tables will still be open this week, but students are urged to pledge soon, as the bloodmo-bile will not be able to handle all of the donors at the end of the week.
Students who pledged last week have been sent postcards reminding them of their appoint ments with the bloodmobile.
Pi Kappa Alpha will use their fire engine to run a shuttle service between the Row and the collection center.
Competition
In the cross-town competition, UCLA is still way ahead with 600 pints pledged. The two schools set quotas of 1200 each, when the drives were planned last year. SC’s quota was 900 pints in the fall drive.
“As a result of the increased quota and the success of last semester’s drive, we asked for a larger bloodmobile this spring,” Miss Barrett explained. “It is important that we meet our quota because bloodmobiles are in demand and are easily filled at most
“The Row has responded to the need, but the success of the drive depends on independent students and campus organizations.” Miss Barrett said in urging class councils, service clubs) and other groups to compete for the certificates of merit given by the Red Cross.
Only a Few
Only a few NROTC members have pledged and the AFROTC is expected to sign up today and tomorrow. The outcome of the drive will depend largely on these groups, according to Miss Barrett. The Red Cross also presents a trophy to the ROTC group which contributes the highest percentage of blood.
“All students should realize that giving blood is of vital service to the community,” Miss Barrett said, “and may help save someone’s life.”
MARY BARRETT and Loren Nicholson,, spring Red Cross Blood Drive chairmen at SC and UCLA, look over 2400 empty bottles that must be filled with blood by this Friday. The Bruins are leading In the race by 600 pints to the Trojans' 300 pints.
industries and businesses where they are taken.”
Bloodmobiles
Because bloodmobiles are booked a year in advance, each empty bed means a pint of blood lost that cannot be replaced. If the bloodmobiles are operating at capacity, it costs the Red Cross $5.23 to process each pint of
blood. Each empty bed raises the price per pint.
The Los Angeles Red Cross Blood Center supplies 10,000 pints each month to local civilian hospitals. The center also is the only source of anti-hemophilic plasma for the 150 persons in the Los Angeles area who suffer from hemophilia.
Professors To Discuss Atom Energy
Ross N. Berkes, associate professor of International Relations and John W. Ervin, professor of Law, will participate in a panel discussion on “Peacetime Uses for Atomic Energy,” tonight at 8, at 540 South Catalina Street.
The discussion is being sponsored by the Los Angeles chapter of the American Association for the U.N., of which Dr. Ervin is vice president, and the I. R. section of the American Association of University Women.
The problems and possibilities involved in Pres. Eisenhower’s proposal for an international authority to control and develop peaceful uses for atomic energy, will be explored by the panel.
